So.. I need a Mandalorian helmet for this one .. wait .. I HAVE one! 🤪 You know the line they keep repeating: “this is the way“. And the funny thing about Mandalorians is .. they never actually question it. It’s “creed”. You do it because.. well .. that’s the way. End of discussion. And lately I …

Ok .. so .. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while.. A few months back, I got pulled into something Microsoft was cooking around “performance” .. and thanks to the usual NDA-stuff, I couldn’t say a word about it .. Well .. it’s out now – as you might have noticed 😉: So …

I did a thing .. again .. 🤪 A few weeks ago I wrote about building the tool but forgetting the skill. That post kept nagging at me. And the more I thought about it .. the more I thought about one word .. Knowledge Think about it .. every time you start a telemetry session with …

So.. here is a train of thoughts… I’ve been doing this telemetry stuff for a while now. KQL snippets, ADE (or what I recently learned: the real abbreviation is “ADX” 🙈) dashboards, the Troubleshooting Buddy (with Dmitry) (where it all started to go into an interesting direction) and of course now BC Telemetry Buddy. Of …

Next topic in the troubleshooting series: Telemetry. Probably the biggest one yet – and one that’s quite close to my heart, as I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time on it over the past years. As always in this series – I just want to throw a bit of “waldo”-sauce on there, with my own …

A while ago I wrote about the BCTalent Escape Room app, and why we built it: I don’t have too much time for my monthly blog post (yep, it’s something I have to schedule for myself these days 🙈) – but something rather important happened .. and I wanted to share this follow up. Whenever …

TL;DR While showing my kid what I was working on, I casually asked my BC Telemetry Buddy “what customer has the most reason to complain” – and accidentally discovered a customer bleeding CPU time every morning from a broken background job. The issue got fixed, and this whole thing turned into a nice story to explain how …

I did a thing … well .. I guess .. I kept doing things .. 🤪 If you haven’t read my previous post, I recommend to do so: Analyzing BC Telemetry with AI with the “BC Telemetry Buddy”. Consider this one the be the “sequel” 😉 TL;DR In the last 4 weeks, my BC Telemetry …

I did a thing … TL;DR I created an MCP for VSCode that makes it possible for you to just “talk” to your Telemetry without touching KQL or getting to know any tools. It’s available on the marketplace, you don’t need extra subscriptions to fancy models or tools – it just uses your chat subscription …

Next topic in this series: the Event Recorder. “This Series”, you might wonder? Yes: I’m doing (slowly but steady) a series on anything “troubleshooting tools” including “my own view” on the different topics. Here is an overview of what I already covered. Next question could be: what on earth is “the Event Recorder”? Well, to …
